Live Webinar on
How To Keep Your Wellness Program Compliant With GINA, ADA, And HIPAA
Date & Time:
The webinar will begin with a brief description of some of the
different types of wellness programs. Next the webinar will describe
in detail the types of wellness plans subject to the HIPAA and GINA
regulations. The HIPAA regulations are the most detailed guidance
available. HIPAA prohibits discrimination in health coverage based on
a health factor.
HIPAA prohibits using health status to determine eligibility,
contributions, or benefits. HIPAA does not prevent a plan from
establishing discounts or rebates, or modifying copayments or
deductibles, in return for adherence to bona fide wellness programs.
HIPAA nondiscrimination provisions generally prohibit plans from
charging similarly situated individuals different premiums based on a
health factor. The regulations also generally prohibit plans from
requiring similarly situated individuals to satisfy different cost-sharing
requirements. However, HIPAA does not prevent a plan from
establishing premium discounts or rebates or modifying otherwise
applicable copayments or deductibles as a reward for members who
adhere to health promotion and disease management programs.
A plan may not establish rules for eligibility that discriminate based
on health-status-related factors. However, plans may implement
wellness programs that provide incentives or rewards to employees
who meet certain conditions and that do not provide the same
rewards to employees who fail to meet those conditions. The Final
Rules on Nondiscrimination and Wellness Programs in Health
Coverage in the Group Market, which were jointly issued by the IRS,
the Department of Labor (DOL), and the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) on December 13, 2006, promulgated
regulations that permit such wellness programs only if they satisfy
conditions falling under five headings. PPACA basically reaffirmed
these regulations.
